As an addendum to this, extension=msyql.so ...is enabled in /etc/php.d/mysql.ini, which the php config states from which Redhat loads its extensions. I've also tried: extension="/usr/lib/php4/mysql.so" ...to no avail. - Eve -----Original Message----- From: Eve Atley [mailto:eatley@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 1:29 PM To: 'php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Cannot load MySQL extension (mysql.so issues) Platform: Redhat Linux Enterprise WS 3 PHP installed: 4.3.2 MySQL installed: 4.0.21 Apache installed: 2.0.46 When setting up PhpMyAdmin today, I got the error: Cannot load mysql extension, Please check PHP configuration My phpinfo() shows: 'with-mysql=shared,/usr' (yes, the comma is not a mistake) - This looks like a glitch; should I fix, and if so where? Mysql.so was found in: /usr/lib/php4/ My php.ini has been editted to read: extension=mysql.so ...and I also tried: extension="/usr/lib/php4/mysql.so" Any clues on remedying this problem, without upgrading MySQL? I have read the problem is solved by installing a PHP-MySQL package, but when I attempted to do so via up2date, I was notified that a dependency was required for a MySQL-client. But Mysql is already installed and running. Any clues out there? Thanks, Eve -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
